Production
Adobe Reserva Chardonnay comes from the sun-kissed Casablanca Valley in Chile. Casablanca Valley can be identified by its closeness to the Pacific Ocean, influenced by the coastal breeze, which moderates temperatures. The land is basically formed by hills that increase in height as it goes east towards the Coastal Mountain Range. It has an alluvial origin, with sandy textures of high permeability, poor and shallow, which causes the valley to have low yields, compared to others. The temperatures are colder and templates, causing a slower ripening in the fruit and, in consequence, great character in flavour and aroma, for white varieties like Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Tasting Notes
A clear, bright pale yellow in colour, with refreshing citrus aromas of grapefruit and lime that intermingle with subtle tropical fruit aromas, especially pineapple. This is a hugely moreish classically varietal organic Chardonnay with great purity. Ideal for serving with fish and shellfish, cooked with creamy sauces or butter. Also it is perfect accompanying pasta with seafood sauces and as aperitif, served with different cheese and dried fruits.
Adobe Reserva Chardonnay is a great choice to liven up a variety of meals and dinner parties. There is a fulfilling depth to this wine but also a playful liveliness, with refreshing notes of tropical fruity and zesty citrus.
